Missing IRS Letter 6419

We filed jointly and only my spouse received the IRS Letter 6419. It has been over a month and mine has not come. It is either lost in the mail or IRS did not send one for me. I call the -1800 number but only got an automated menu and elevator music. Should I just file my tax return without my IRS Letter 6419?

With or without letter 6419 you need to enter the correct amount of child tax credit advance payments the two of you received between July and December. If you enter the wrong amount it will delay your refund. So check your own bank records or check your online account with the IRS if you do not recall how much you received each month --- you must enter the total amount received.

Thank you for responding. I did log into the IRS account you posted and it reflects the same #1 and #2 on my spouse's Letter 6419. There is nothing for me. I am tempted to double the amount on #1 box on my spouse's Letter 6419 but it may be overkilled.

If the amount shown on your spouse's 6419 letter is the Total amount of the advance child tax credit payments you received in 2021, then you do not need your letter. Just report the amount of the advance CTC received when asked in the TurboTax program.
